We slept three nights in one of the cottages. The garden is lovely with a big playground for the kids. The rooms and the kitchen had a lot of space and my family enjoyed the pool. A week prior to our stay there was a sandstorm and from what I understood they were still cleaning up. The pool had a lot of plants and dirt on the floor which I guess is still from that storm. The cottage itself could have been cleaner on our arrival. There was garbage and toys from previous guests under the beds, the floor wasn’t clean and most of the dishes we had to clean before using them. In general I think the cottage is in need of a proper profound cleaning. The manager and the staff were lovely and really helpful with everything. All in all we had a good time.

We had a family reunion here on the Australia Day long weekend. We booked this 12 months ago, the staff went above & beyond & could not have been more helpful as we made a few changes throughout the year. The accommodation was great, as we had 40 plus people, close to the airport for family members flying in from interstate. Close to the beach, & the Bay for lovely seafood. It was perfect for us and we have booked again. Highly recommend!!

We have been returning to The Retreat for a dad's weekend away for about 12 years. It is the perfect set-up for this. It's fairly cheap but cheerful. Plenty of room, you have the ability to have everyone under the same roof whilst still having plenty of space (lounge/dining and verandah) for socialising. Great BBQ facilities, fantastically stocked kitchen and plenty of parking. Close to some great golf courses and awesome beaches. It is our group's yearly pressure cooker of life release and the Retreat is a perfect place for it. 15 thumbs up this year and every year prior 👍. Thank you

Great name but a pretty tired looking 'retreat'. The linen and towels were clean, the floors not very clean and the facilities generally pretty average. This is how we found the dog friendly cabin, not sure if the others were of equal standard.

We spent a weekend at The Retreat for my cousin's wedding the other week. We all had an absolutely fantastic time and were very impressed by the facilities and the staff. While at the wedding, I lost my phone and the staff were incredibly helpful and kind. When I got home 4 days later, I managed to track the phone back to the venue and the staff went searching for it and found it. They were very accommodating and mailed it back to me. I highly recommend this venue!
